Sorry, but the Gates aren't the beneficial, benign philanthropers you think they are. They have an agenda and are actively pursuing it. One of their big pushes is the destruction of the American public education system as we know it.

I don't care whether Buffet donates to a super PAC or not, but he certainly could have found much more worthy organizations to donate to than the Gates foundation.
